You know, if you try to remove your knowledge/memory of how TPM actually ended up being it’s not hard to see why this trailer got people so hyped back in 1999; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnhqwRQf04A

I kinda wish trailers were still like this, it’s so much more dramatic than the generic “factory-made” clip-shows that so many trailers are nowadays.

(PS. I’m personally really nostalgic for TPM since it was my first SW film so I’m not trying to start a discussion about the quality of the film or anything like that, I was just really impressed by this trailer.)
